Import Tips

• Verify artificial sweetener content exceeds natural sugars to qualify under 2106.90.39.00; provide lab analysis if challenged by CBP

• Include FDA prior notice and ensure ingredient labeling complies with 21 CFR for imported cough drops

• Avoid misclassification as sugar confectionery (1704) by documenting soothing claims without therapeutic positioning
